-==What causes pitted rust==
-Rust pitting is caused by a localized lack of oxygen in metal. This causes an area to become anodic (it readily gives up electrons), contributing to the degradation of the metal into rust.
-Pitted rust can be more insidious than surface rust. While the pits may comprise only a small volume of a piece of metal, the widespread perforation can compromise the overall structure of the metal.
